It could affect performance if the CPU's memory speed cap is lower than the RAM speed, causing bottlenecks.

You're considering upgrading your PC's RAM due to reliability concerns. Your current setup uses an i7-8700K with 16GB at 2667MHz, while the new kit is a Corsair 32GB (2 sticks) Vengeance LPX White at 3000MHz. Whether this will work depends on matching speeds and compatibility. You should verify that both kits support the same RAM speed and form factor to ensure smooth performance.
It should function properly. The concern is mainly about Intel not covering issues when the memory performance falls below 2667MHz, which is quite cautious.
Sure, I managed to test a 3200MHz setup at 3600MHz with my 8700k. You're probably going to be all right.
